It seems like after they've flipped over a card once, they're matching it without fail. Five of hearts, I've already seen this one. I'm telling you, I'm right! They remember every card that's been flipped over? In terms of memory, they're equal.

This is a contest of luck, whether they can draw a card they've already seen.

Twenty-eight cards left. Techno has 36. Tubbo has 40. It's still too close to call. It's gonna be rough from here on out.The fewer cards there are, the easier it'll be to match them.

The game's sure to take a turn now.

"I'm impressed, Techno. I've never felt so challenged before." Tubbo grins as he scans over the few remaining cards.

"Oh, please. I'm honored." Techno responds, watching the younger continue to look upon the playing cards.

"I'd better bear down now. Hey, a match. And this one is here...A match! Moving on, this one's... All right! I've seen this one before, too.!"

"Oh, wow." Techno replied amazed by what the younger could do.

Ten in a row.

Looks like the goddess of good fortune is on my side. That's a 14-card lead over techno. He can't possibly close the gap now.

Oh, no. I missed one of these cards at this chance I might even- even- be beaten.

"That's a miss. Go on, Techno,"I say as I mismatch the cards,"If you miss the next one, I'm afraid I'm going to end up winning. Please give it your all!"

He missed.

"That's a match. I've matched 54 pairs, more than half the deck, meaning I've won." I grinned as Techno looked at me with a blank stare, that guy isn't normal.

"Techno, you're 20 million yen in the hole. What are you gonna do?"

"Would you mind playing me just one more time? I can't possibly repay 20 million! I had all of the flipped-over cards memorized, just as you had. To lose in such a manner, I can't accept it. One more match, please." Techno sighed as he loosen his school uniforms tie a bit for a small breathe.

"The thing is, I have a thing for collecting nails. Look! Aren't they adorable? Needless to say, this is only part of my collection..And there's actually a little secret to these nails..You see, these are all real nails."

"My, my. What a..lovely.. Collection of real nails...tubbo.."

"It'd make my life easier if I could buy them, but people loath selling them to me, so most of these are the ones I plundered through gambling."

"Therefore, if I were to bet 20 million yen..."

"Oh, Techno.. I'd love to have those nails of yours."

"You're kidding, right? Put his nails on the line?" Dream interuppted the conversation.

"What do you say, Techno?"

"Techno, there's no need to accept these ridiculous terms--" Dream cut in, quite rudely.

"Very well. That's acceptable to me." Techno grins, don't worry though, I know I will win though.

"Hold up, what are you--?" Dream asked Techno.

"I have to! There's no other way for me to repay my debt." Techno muttered

"That's the right attitude! Let's use brand-new cards, all right?"

Is this for real? My heart's pounding! This is insane. Even at this school, there's hardly ever any gambling that involves bodily injury. No wonder everyone's getting pumped up. This is no laughing matter.
